Greetings Gamers... I have gotten familiar with ALIDA... I have completed the PEGHEAD... I have completed the POTENTIOMETERS...except for the very last step...the one where I set the four FINAL settings... The T-Flyer flew to the Jacktower and the four tunnels are available... Potentiometer 1 is illuminated and set...but the other 3 are dark and non-accessible...the W/T does not elaborate...need a guiding clue..please? SOLVER

By the way, I just checked the walkthrough at the Alida site, and the directions are there. I just think it's so packed with information that it's easy to overlook small details.

When I first played, it took me a while to realize I could go up another level. Something that happened with an elevator in Myst surfaced in my gray matter, and I had a mini "aha" moment and pushed the button again.

I have just read 'Alida Quest Here'looking for a clue...YIKES!!!...so here's my problem... I am in 'Completing the Switch'... I am standing in front of the Moon Tone Cabinet.. I have the back panel...87523 and am playing up a 'storm'...but I cannot make the thing 'fully operational'...why do you suppose?...

Dear Melanie... I went back to the Moon Tone Cabinet and tried the tune again...no luck...I saw in the w/t that they showed the whole 'shebang'...so I clicked all ten numbers...and what do you know...the T- Flyer opened...I went up to see Arin but he did not show...so I came down and flew to the Conservatory...totally confusing...please stand by...I'm looking for Leval...SOLVER

Solver,I think it was Tig who mentioned that walking toward the t-rider again triggers the message from Arin, but I haven't tested it myself. I don't remember where I went between my first and second visit (probably everywhere). Anyway, it's a moot point now that the t-rider is operational.

BTW, when you said you went to visit Arin, I'm assuming that you climbed the ladder in the purple light. I think there was some confusion between the strummer viewer (up the elevator by the main vault) and Arin's vault a while back, so I'm just checking to make sure we're on the same page.

I was going along singing a song suddenly the bottom fell out... I arrived at Leval's Dungeon and he spoke to me but no matter what,I could not open his door- lock...so I went on to the T-Flyer back to the the Switch...Wherein my game crashed... Please tell me how to go about getting the patch that I've been reading about...

Yes, I did climb the 'purple lit' ladder to visit Arin...so if any of this makes sense I sure could use some help...SOLVER

Somewhere in the past I sort of figured out what to do with a 'saved game'... but now I have a 'zipped' patch sitting on my desktop...could you or one of the brilliant gamers tell me what to do with it?

I am about ready to change my pseudonym from SOLVER to 'DUMMY'...PLEASE HELP!! SOLVER
